Suit goals
5 men you really, really want to look like
Obviously it should be me at the top of this list, but since we’re here, these gents also know a thing or two about wearing a suit. Look and learn, lads:

Tom Hardy
You don’t see Hardy kicking about in a suit every day, but when he does suit up, he doesn’t muck about.
A 3-piece suit. Pattern. Killer accessories. Does he look scared? No.
He also looks like he’s just been roughed up a bit. Notice I said, “looks like”, gents. We’re here for a good time, alright?

John Boyega
Look, I appreciate the single black glove might be a bit much. The bold colour though? This is a man who’s not afraid to stand out in a crowd.
Roll into prom wearing something like this and I guarantee you’ll have everyone’s attention.

Riz Ahmed
A slick tux is the ultimate evening look for any self-respecting man. You know what’ll give you the edge, though? Being man enough to wear one in head-to-toe blue.
And if you really want to step up to the plate, make like Riz here and add in a coordinated blue bow tie.

Tinie Tempah
If there’s any time to bring out the big guns, lads, it’s prom. Take our friend Tinie here: absolutely bossing it in an embellished silver grey suit.
And as much as I’m an advocate for accessorising, a suit this sick needs nothing more than a plain black shirt and patent shoes so shiny you can admire your reflection in them. Trust me: you’re gonna want to.

Eddie Redmayne
Not feeling the spangles? Sticking to suave is a sure route to success. Fact.
Nothing says you’re the (gentle) man like knowing how to pull off the classics. Here’s Eddie showing how to play a blinder in a traditional double-breasted number.
Does it look like an old man’s suit? No – because he’s nailed the three P’s: proper fit, peak lapels and polished shoes. Got it? Good.
